Rugby fans rejoice, the week of the first Lions test is upon us.

Just like all great things such as the Olympic Games and any form of a World Cup, it only comes around once every four years. Slowly and steadily things are beginning to fall in place for Warren Gatland's side as they prepare for the mammoth test of facing New Zealand but a 32-10 defeat of the Maori All Blacks was impressive. Not without its flaws, Tadhg Furlong gave away a penalty for not releasing late in the first half. Not a big deal, right? Well, Mako Vunipola took issue with it during the heat of battle. https://twitter.com/hairyrucker1/status/876133961176666113 We wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that for sure and either would Connacht centre Bundee Aki. https://twitter.com/bundeeaki12/status/876562593032359943 Well, we bet he's never quite experienced the dreaded wooden spoon.
